Kay, 93, opened around Matteus deceased father, Jim McConaugheyIn a recent conversation with Austin lifestyleThey approached their unusual marriage history: They were twice signposted and three times married to each other in 39 years.
“Not many people can say that,” Kay told the publication. “I had three traditional real weddings, once in the Presbyterian Church, once in the Catholic Church and once in the Methodist Church.”
Before he exchanged promises for the first time, Jim “couldn’t cope with whether he would marry or not. I met him in college and we were pretty tight, but he couldn’t seem to put together. I knew he loved me, but if we didn’t get married I could return to New York and Model. “
Matthew McConaughey weighed in on what he thought of his mother, Mary Kathleen McCabe, and put Camila Alves through the ringtone when they first started dating. “My family is big on rituals about passage and initiation, and you don’t get into the McConaughey family easily,” McConaughey, 53, said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight Canada published […]
“So,” she continued, “I sent him an invitation to his wedding, and I said if you can do it fine, but if you don’t show up on the altar, it’s over and I’m going to New York. But he showed up. It wasn’t that he didn’t love me, he simply couldn’t make up. And I don’t think he would marry at the time, but I would marry! “
Kay and Jim had three children: Michael, Patrick and Matthew, who became a movie star in the 1990s. According to Kay, she did not expect to be pregnant with Matthew.
“In fact, he was such a surprise that my friend picked me up to the hospital to have Matthew and Jim McConaughey said, ‘Well, I don’t know if it’s my son,’ and I said, ‘then didn’t come up and see Whether he is your son, ”Kay told Austin lifestyle. “But he did, he decided to come up and see the baby, and I said, ‘What do you think?’ And he came around. I mean, who someone else’s baby would it have been? “
Jim died in 1992, and several years later Kay triggered a prolonged romance with businessman Clyde “CJ” CarligWho she calls “My Soulmate. He was such a friendly, thought -provoking person, and we were together for 17 years until he died of leukemia ”in 2017.
Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves are not always public about their family life – but as their children continue to grow, they let fans more and more. McConaughey met his future wife in 2006, and two years later they greeted their first child, son Levi, in July 2008. Their daughter, Vida, arrived in January 2010. […]
Kay and Carlig never went down the hall. She didn’t want to, and “was just so happy to have two men in my life that I really, really loved.”
Matthew, 55, has previously discussed his parents’ on-and-off relationship and tell Barbara Walters In an interview from 2006 That they “would say this in joke, but there is also some truth to this. Both of them at different times said, ‘Well son, I love your mother. Six days a week. ‘And Mom said the same thing,’ I love your dad six days a week. ‘ That didn’t mean they didn’t love each other on the seventh day; What it means is that they said you have to have time for yourself, you can’t lose yourself. “
